Hi, Oliver,

Thanks for posting. I’m pleased to hear that you’ve been reading and enjoying some of my books, and that ISLAND and TITANIC have made such a big hit with you.

Your suggestion is an interesting one, but I think I’ve had enough of the White Star Line and shipwrecks for a while. I do know the history, though. If I’m not mistaken, HMHS Brittanic was a hospital ship that sank in the Aegean in 1916. Have you thought of giving it a try yourself? You’d need a fictional plot and fictional characters to act out their story against the backdrop of a real historical event, as I did with TITANIC. It’s a fascinating project, I know!

So I think I’ll pass. But thanks again for the thought, Oliver. I appreciate the fact that you entrusted your plot idea to me.
